Wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate.<\/p>\n<p>Remove one section of dough from refrigerator at a time.<br \/>\nRoll out to a small rectangle, spread with 1 Tbsp soft butter. Fold in, by folding over the two sides and two ends to make a smaller rectangle.<\/p>\n<p>Roll out to a rectangle approximately 12 x 8.<br \/>\nPut 1\/8 of the filling on the top edge of the rectangle.<br \/>\nRoll up, seal ends, and place on cookie sheet.<br \/>\nRepeat for all sticks.<\/p>\n<p>Before baking, brush with egg whites and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.<br \/>\nBake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>This filling makes twice as much as needed for the amount of pastry. Make the sticks larger, double the pastry recipe (lots of work to roll all those out&#8230;are you doing this with a friend?) or cut the filling recipe in half!<\/p>\n<p>Happy Homesteading,<\/p>\n<p>T.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-2205 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/redOrnament_wFeather-pen-150x150.png\" alt=\"Christmas Blog Post\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/redOrnament_wFeather-pen-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/redOrnament_wFeather-pen-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holiday Almond Sticks are yummy.\u00a0 The filling is almond paste, we got ours online, but you could try the baking section of your favorite grocer.\u00a0 It comes in 7oz size tubes&#8230;small enough quantity that you need to buy more than one for a single recipe!\u00a0 Deceptive marketing,\u00a0 but who&#8217;s keeping track.\u00a0 The paste tubes are &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/?p=4436\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Almond Sticks<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4438,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[98,220,14,239],"tags":[65,241,73],"class_list":["post-4436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kitchen","category-learn","category-recipes","category-tales-from-the-farm","tag-kitchen","tag-lost-arts","tag-recipes"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/fullsizeoutput_853.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7igqH-19y","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4436"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4436\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4440,"href":"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4436\/revisions\/4440"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
